About
Welcome to the harshest and most majestic place on Earth: Antarctica.
This story takes place in the distant future: AD 2900.
Earth has been ravaged by a number of disasters. Lethal viruses, food shortages, extreme weather, and unending wars have all but completely decimated the population. Survivors find themselves without homes, and this once lush planet has been transformed into a desolate star.
Amidst this chaos, a mysterious signal is suddenly sent out to all countries on Earth. Its source? The South Pole.
It indicates the possible existence of abundant resources. A ray of hope in dark times.
And so, the protagonist—a young child, comes to be the bearer of humanity's last hope.
This child heads to Antarctica, an environment that has seen the most extreme levels of pollution.
Your goal is to find the truth: just who was it that sent out the signal, and why?
And what fate awaits the future of humanity?

The threats that obstruct your path.
With an ancient map as your guide, traverse each area and make your way to your final destination: the South Pole.
Hold your own against the harsh and unpredictable Antarctic environment. Manage your stamina, and use your wits and ingenuity to survive.
- Blizzards
The merciless, violent blizzards that sweep across the land will threaten your life with the hazardous materials they pick up. Use obstacles such as walls to help you endure the terrifying winds.
- Sub-Zero Temperatures
At times, temperatures in Antarctica can fall as far as below -30°C. Long-lasting cold will rapidly decrease your stamina, so be cautious.
- Radiation Hazards
Past wars have left Antarctica polluted by radiation. Take care that your hazmat suit doesn't start malfunctioning...
- Viral Infection
The pollution of Antarctica is made worse by the deadly viruses that lurk within. Activate Disinfection Devices and clean up polluted areas as you journey forward.
Craft and Build System
The key to surviving the dangers of Antarctica are the remnants of advanced technologies from before this era of ruin: "Craft" and "Build"
Collect resources such as stone and wood, or even scrap parts of Lost Technology. Use these to make important items for your journey.
1. Collect Materials
Craft various items out of the resources you find while exploring. Your survival will be determined by your management of materials and stamina. Keep an eye on your stamina as you secure resources.
2. Craft (and Restore Lost Technology)
When you discover an item that looks useful, scan it using a high-spec 3D printer and register it to your Craft List. It may be possible to create large-scale devices by combining crafted items.
3. Build (on the Spot)
Crafted items can be built on the spot, depending on the circumstances. You are in the most extreme environment known to man, so be strategic as you explore. This will ensure your survival. Make sure to craft items beforehand, so that they are ready to be built during an emergency.

This is a very bad game. The tutorial has been reworked since I started to play. Not much better. The menus and inventory management are probably the worse of any game I have ever play. You need to press 3 different buttons to get in AND out of the inventory! Building anything requires to build them twice I'm not joking. Once in the inventory crafting and again in the world. WHY!!!!!!! Using items require you to naviagte 4 differents circular menus that also have their sub menus. Once again WHYYYYY? That mechanic makes it impossible to react quickly when a blizzard or other event makes you lose life quick. The game lacks direction, and navigating the map gives you no clue to what to do other than go to the south pole. If you follow the so-call tutorial you would go to the next level and skip A TON of tutorial and more stuff to do. Item you build will disapear if their is a storm leaving you stranded and having to restart from the beginning. you have to build box that can disintegrate althought the entire world is littered with boxes!!! You pick up a bunch of stuff that you have no idea what they are and you never known what you should prioritise other than backpack and Stamina energy. To protect yourself from the blizzard you have to build a concrete Highway divider. (that stops cold apparently). Toxicity can not be countered other that injecting your backpack with a crap ton of energy stims. Events seems random so each playthrought the storm is unpredictable. you character is the size of a toddler and the rest of the story shows regular size humans, nothing make sense. it's a mess. I could not push myself to play more.
I really like the concept of this game! I've had it wish listed for ages. The music is very relaxing, the idea is the sort of thing I adore, and the models are very cute. I DO want to recommend it, but at the moment it's in desperate need of a couple of patches. - Blizzards and Radiation weather rolls around far too quickly after each other - I've barely had time to recover from one before another is on its way - Checkpoints! I'm still on the second area, I keep dying. I just found the penguin and I died to a blizzard because I couldn't get the resources in time to build a shelter. - The camera has a tendency to drift. - Cutscenes do not pause the gameplay :( I nearly died once during a radiation storm because I was watching the cutscene of the character finding the penguin. - Controls can be a bit sluggish, as can opening the inventory or menu. - When I had the opportunity to build a base in the second area, I thought maybe that might protect me from the weather effects - nope! At the moment it feels far too costly for no benefit :( I don't know if I was supposed to complete the structure first, but as it stands I got wiped out by the elements before I could find out. I really want to see this game succeed so I hope the dev(s) are able to address some of these issues. I'm not 100% at a point where I can recommend it to friends yet, though I don't want to leave it a negative review as the potential is there! I'm sure with a bit more work, this can be the experience it's meant to be!
リソース管理しつつ、ある程度の選択肢のあるルートを進んでいく。 ゲームジャンルとしては PEAK みたいな感じかな。平地だけど。 リソース管理は良い感じなのですが、一撃死が多い。 リスクを勘案して進むとか、失敗したらリカバリするとか、そういったリスク&リターンのゲーム性は薄く、 この妨害にはこの対策という一択になり、窮屈なゲームプレイになる。 死んだらステージ最初からやり直し。 ランダム要素は少なくてリプレイ性は低く、最適な経路を自分で見つけたら後は作業になる。 要するに一撃死避け&作業ゲーになってしまっていて、正直おすすめできない。
[h2]WHAT JUST HIT ME?[/H2] Nova Antarctica is a quiet survival game set at the end of the world, where Earth has burned itself out, and Antarctica becomes humanity’s last hope. You play as a small, faceless child crossing a hostile landscape of snow, radiation, and silence. You don’t know who they are, You don’t know why they were chosen, You’re just trying to get them somewhere safe. That distance works, at first (even if the narrative doesn't explain it at all). The game trusts atmosphere over exposition, and when it leans into that, it’s effective. There’s a genuine sense of loneliness here, and moments where the world feels heavy with what’s been lost. Where Nova Antarctica struggles is everything that happens between those moments that grab you. Survival mechanics are present, but they don’t flow. Movement feels sluggish, crafting and healing require too many steps across too many menus. When a blizzard or radiation storm hits, the game asks you to navigate multiple wheels and key prompts while actively dying. That tension could work, but instead, it feels like fighting the interface rather than the environment. Especially when something "hits" you during a blizzard and you instantly die. The tutorial doesn’t help. It relies on pop-up boxes that interrupt play without pausing the world. I died several times just trying to learn the systems, including during the tutorial itself. Even on repeat attempts, the same pop-ups appear, turning learning into frustration. And yet, there is something here. You find abandoned bodies, and they're often near recorders showing final moments. One early scene, involving armed figures in the snow, is genuinely upsetting and powerful. It’s also the point where the game made me stop and think, “Oh. This could have been something special.” The visual storytelling does far more emotional work than the written narrative, which feels underdeveloped and distant by comparison. Nova Antarctica is playable. It isn’t broken in the way some releases are, but progression feels blocked by imbalance. Weather events are far too frequent, while the resources are too scarce. I reached points where I simply ran out of stamina and materials, with no way forward except to die and restart. I wanted to enjoy this more than I did. The ideas are strong, but the systems don’t support the journey the game wants to tell. [h3]PROS[/h3] +Soft, atmospheric art direction. +Gentle, effective music. +Some powerful visual storytelling moments. +Strong thematic ideas. [h3]CONS[/h3] –Overworked UI with too many menus. –Tutorial interrupts play without teaching flow. –Survival balance feels punishing rather than purposeful. –Progression often blocked by stamina and resource scarcity. –Narrative lacks emotional depth outside of visual moments.

「南極という極寒の環境を生き残るサバイバル」と書くとよくあるサバイバルゲームでしかないが ホログラムで分かるその土地で生きていた人類の痕跡、動物達との交流、選択肢により分岐する物語 そして主人公が子どもであることによる没入感、何度でもプレイしたくなるやりごたえのあるゲームだと感じました。 また、崩壊してしまった世界の考察など、ゲームプレイ以外にも楽しむことができます。 南極という不条理な環境で何度も窮地に追い込まれますが、それを乗り越えたときの達成感や主人公を助けることができたという安堵感は何物にも代え難い感動を生み出してくれます。 おすすめのゲームです、ぜひともプレイしてみてください!!
【アップデート後】 雰囲気ゲームが好きな人には刺さると思います。 荒廃した世界を孤独に探索するのが楽しかったです。 ストーリー分岐あり。 1周目でハッピーエンドはやや難しそう。 難易度はアップデート後、かなり優しくなっています。 吹雪(ほぼ即死)の回数がかなり減少。 死んだらステージ最初からやり直しも、セーブ機能が追加実装。 周回ゲームです。 1周目の成果に応じて、バフをゲットできます。 (条件が成果かランダムかは不明) それをつけて2周目が始まります。 〇悪い点 インベントリが常にパンパンでストレス。 探検には大きなカバンがないと、悲しい。 〇これから、やる人へ ツルハシを強化しろ。 〇備考 最初に書いた下記の不具合は進行不能バグは直っているのを確認しました。 ----------------------------------- 【アップデート前】 開発時から楽しみにしてたので「オススメ」にしたいのですが 不具合が多いです。 - 象がいなくなると、物が拾えなくなる。再起動すると物は拾えるが、象が復活して報酬を拾えない。 - 死んだキャラクターが次のステージで復活している。仕様なのかバグなのか分からない。 - 多分ラスト、主人公が操作できない。回復薬も使えず進行不能。 最後のストーリーが見たいので、直してほしいです。
南极计划以 30 世纪文明覆灭的南极为背景,人类将把所希望寄托主角身上,将前往污染冰原,探寻秘密。核心为生存玩法,需要把控体力与能量,来应对严寒、辐射等极端天气,收集资源制作药剂和工具,建造登山箱、篝火等必备物品。游戏无明确地图易迷路,但新颖的南极科幻题材、融合冒险在搭配支线探索内容,是极具特色的创新生存探索之作,喜欢此类题材的玩家不妨入手体验一下。
アドベンチャーモードを1周しました。 マップが想像していたよりもずっと広くて、探索が面白いです。 天気予報を見て、いつ行こう?どっち行こう?と作戦考えている時も結構楽しかったです。 言葉で語ってくれないので推測でしかないですが、 写真1枚とっても、あれ?もしかして?と推測できる部分があったり、ストーリーが気になる感じ。 周回前提っぽいので、1周だけではわからないところもあり、 2周目もちょっとずつ遊ぼうと思います。
这游戏最好的是卖相,然后教程、动画、手感都做的很差,真的玩起来不知所云。这游戏艺术性不错,但真的缺乏可玩性,也不知道到底要讲什么故事,我很难进入它的设定中去。
在众多步行模拟游戏里,我尤其喜欢《无敌号》——这不仅仅是因为其科幻的肃杀氛围以及优秀的原著作为支撑,更是因为它所传递的一种精神。而在《南极计划》,一部几乎无人问津的作品里,我似乎又感受到了制作组对「孤独感」的追求。 游戏将背景设定在未来,这里病毒肆虐、粮食危机凸显、极端气候频发,再加上无休止的战争,各种DEBUFF叠满,让曾经宜居的地球变得满目疮痍,不再适合人类生存。在全人类陷入绝望之际,一道来自南极点的神秘信号悄然出现,为濒临灭绝的人类带来了一丝生机——而我们,将扮演一位小男孩踏上旅途去寻找这火种,成为“普罗米修斯”。 从玩法来看,这款游戏在步行模拟器之外又加入了硬核生存属性,其核心目标十分明确:[B]玩家需要在限定的游戏天数内,从起始位置一路跋涉至南极点,同时保证自己能够存活下来。[/B]游戏中,玩家需要重点关注两个核心数值——背包能量和耐力值。背包能量相当于玩家的生命值,会受到极寒、辐射等恶劣环境因素的影响,一旦能量归0,任务便会失败;耐力值则用于支撑玩家的奔跑、跳跃、采集和建造等所有动作,不同于大多数同类游戏,这里的耐力值无法自动恢复,只能依靠特定的道具和建造的建筑来补充。这就要求玩家在游戏过程中必须精打细算,合理分配体力,每一步行动都要深思熟虑,这一设定也恰好贴合了末日生存的残酷背景,增强了游戏的代入感。 在探索的过程中,玩家可以扫描沿途遇到的科技残骸和图纸,利用游戏内的打印机制造工具、修补装备,或是搭建庇护所,以此应对恶劣的生存环境,整个过程充满了成就感。除此之外,探索途中还能收集到各种档案碎片,通过拼凑这些碎片可以逐步了解旧时代的真相,探寻人类文明走向衰败的原因,这也为游戏增添了不少解密的乐趣,让整个冒险之旅更具深度。 当然,游戏的小毛病还是有不少的,要不然也不至于一凉再凉。比如游戏前期的引导比较薄弱,初期可收集的资源也相对匮乏,很多新手玩家刚上手时,很容易陷入迷茫,不知道该从何入手;同时,部分操作略显生硬,长时间游玩会感到有些别扭,偶尔还会遇到一些小bug,这些小问题都在一定程度上消耗着玩家的耐心。 总体而言,《南极计划》是一款瑕不掩瑜的生存冒险游戏。Q版画风很有特色,与残酷的末日背景形成了鲜明的反差,科幻、生存、建造与解密等元素的融合也十分流畅,立意深刻,能够给玩家带来独特的心灵体验。虽然游戏存在引导较弱、操作生硬等小问题,但并不影响其整体的可玩性,如果你喜欢末日生存题材,愿意沉浸式感受一段美丽而残酷的南极救赎之旅,那这款游戏肯定值得你一试。 [code]双语评测,认准我们: [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/35263058-Bilingual-Curator/]双语评测[/url] Make Chinese and English speaker feel at home: [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/35263058-Bilingual-Curator/]Bilingual Curator[/url][/code]
